Stan Van Gundy Comparing Biden’s Student Loan Bailout to Jesus Does Not Go Well – Opinion

Joe Biden’s decision to unconstitutionally bail out student loan debt of $10,000 for anyone making below $125,000 is getting a lot of backlash, particularly from people on the right, not to mention anyone else who believes in the law and basic fairness.

We’ve seen some on the left try to compare this to PPP loans and claim Republicans who got PPP loans were being hypocritical by criticizing the Biden bailout. As Sister Toldjah, my colleague explained, Congress passed the PPP Program. It was also open to anyone, because of an action by the government that interfered in the ability of people to work — the lockdowns. This was not about Americans having to pay the debt others have voluntarily assumed.

Stan Van Gundy was a former NBA coach, and he also worked as an NBA analyst on the TNT Network. He compared Joe Biden with Jesus through the miracles of the loaves, and fishes.

Van Gundy termed it “Republican logic” and it had a caption that stated, “Jesus’s miracle of the loaves and fishes was a slap in the face to all the people who brought their own lunch.”

That did not end well, with conservatives and others going to town on Van Gundy, detailing how the analogy wasn’t anywhere close to reality.

Let’s start that comparing a confused illegal action by Joe Biden to buy votes to a miracle by Jesus to feed people is more than a stretch and just a bit offensive. Joe Biden and the government are not Jesus.

Jesus did a miracle by creating loaves and fishes. He didn’t steal from taxpayers to make them pay for the debts of others. He didn’t tell the people who brought their lunches that they had to pay to feed everyone else. He didn’t just distribute the loaves and fishes to a subset of the people there. He didn’t distribute the food so they vote for him.

Unlike Jesus, the government can’t perform miracles to make things come out of thin air. Debt doesn’t just disappear. Everything costs. In this instance, all of us have to contribute to the Biden bailout effort in order to buy midterm votes.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think Jesus said with his actions that we all had to pay up for other folks’ gender studies degrees.

It’s hilarious when folks on the left try to use Jesus for how they want to use him. The left attacks any mention of Jesus/God, as if they are pushing for a Christian theocracy.
